June 8, Manila, Philippines – Ginebra celebrated World Gin Day with their new partners for GSM Blue, Herlene Budol, Zanjoe Marudo, and many more.
In an interview, Herlene confessed how she could not help but be starstruck by the Kapamilya star Zanjoe Marudo and expressed her interest in working with the actor.
“Ang gwapo pala ni Zanjoe sa personal at ang tangkad. Sana makatrabaho ko siya soon. At saka si Coco Martin. Ngayong nauuso na ang collaboration ng ABS-CBN at GMA7, sana makatrabaho ko rin ang ilang Kapamilya stars,” shared Herlene.
During the event, Zanjoe Marudo mentioned, “Naku, mukhang magkakatrabaho kami nito. Hindi talaga ako sanay na makatrabaho ng medyo ka-height ko pero why not? Malay mo ‘di ba makatrabaho ko si Herlene soon.”
Herlene and Zanjoe were special guests and judges of the cocktail mixing contest held during Ginebra’s World Gin Day event at Westin Manila.
According to the budding actress, beauty queen, and one of Ginebra’s newest brand ambassadors, she has come a long way in her career, mentioning how she used to give hints to Ginebra before, saying, “Dati minemessage ko lang ‘yun Ginebra, nagpaparamdam ako.”
For World Gin Day, Ginebra celebrated the ‘Cool, Clear, and Versatile’ gin that each of their new ambassadors represents.
“We join gin enthusiasts worldwide in celebrating World Gin Day. As pioneers of this event in our country, we aspire to ignite the spirit of greater appreciation for more Filipinos to know gin’s outstanding qualities, as it is a drink that is ‘Cool, Clear, and Versatile,’” said GSMI Marketing Manager Ron Molina.
Zanjoe Marudo, the actor-model, enjoys the cool and refreshing gin experience as a way to enhance his day. For him, being cool goes beyond style and moves; it also means being calm. Meanwhile, Basel Manadil popularly known as “The Hungry Syrian,” clearly prefers GSM Premium Gin, a distilled gin crafted with natural ingredients and fine botanicals.
Actress-comedian Herlene “Hipon Girl” Budol appreciates the versatility of gin, allowing her to enjoy it in various ways.
